The M3

After 22 days on the track with my 1988 325is, it was time for an upgrade. If you're interested in the competition history of the E30 M3, you can read about it here.

I bought my car with 135,000 miles. It came pretty well-equipped, with Kmacs, racing dynamics swaybars, a Turner/conforti chip, brand new aluminum control arms with offset bushings (uninstalled) and H&R Race springs (also uninstalled).

More photos soon.
